If fun is the priority, 😀 age doesn't matter, then the Komoot friends are back on the road. With a colorful group through the St. Wendel region, with lots of laughter and a few beads of sweat, from Schaumberg to Bostalsee and back. A complete success! Thanks to everyone for being considerate of two biobikers. Maybe see you next time …
